Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On June 30, 2009, Health Discovery Corporation (the “Company”) issued a secured promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to Joseph McKenzie, a director and long term shareholder of the Company, for $500,000. The Promissory Note contains an 8% annual interest rate and is due on January 4, 2010.  The Promissory Note is completely repayable by the Company at any time without any related fees or penalties, and payment on the Promissory Note may be accelerated by the holder upon an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Promissory Note).  The Promissory Note is secured by certain intellectual property and other assets of the Company as more fully described on Exhibit A of the Promissory Note.  The proceeds of the Promissory Note will be used for general working capital purposes. This short term debt financing is intended to serve as a bridge to anticipated future licensing revenues in a manner which is not dilutive to shareholders. A copy of the Promissory Note is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

This Report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 12E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including or related to our future results and certain projections. Assumptions relating to forward-looking statements involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could prove inaccurate, and we may not realize the results contemplated by the forward-looking statement. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking information included in this Report, you should not regard the inclusion of such information as our representation that we will achieve any strategy, objective or other plans. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, the failure to successfully achieve the milestones in our contracts, as well as the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” section to our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, filed on March 31, 2009.

THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY OTHER SECURITIES LAWS, AND IT MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS SO REGISTERED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.  THIS NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS NOTE.

$500,000.00  June 30, 2009

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, HEALTH DISCOVERY CORPORATION (the “Company”), a Georgia corporation, hereby promises to pay to the order of Joe McKenzie or his, her or its permitted, registered assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), payable on the earlier of (i) January 4, 2010, or (ii) when declared due and payable by the Holder upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below) (in the case of either (i) or (ii), the “Maturity Date”).

Principal and interest, if any, shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at such place as the Holder may designate from time to time in writing to the Company.  Any payment of principal which is not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a simple rate of interest equal to eight percent (8%) per annum; provided, however, that delinquent installments of interest shall not bear interest if and to the extent prohibited by applicable law.  Any interest required to be paid due to a delinquent payment shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty five day year and for the actual number of days elapsed.  The entire principal hereof, together with all accrued and unpaid interest hereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.  All payments received from the Company by Holder shall be first applied to interest to the extent then accrued then to principal.

The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder of this Note and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which the Holder hereof, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

1.             Definitions.  As used in this Note, the following terms have the following meanings:

1.1           “Assets” means the intellectual property and certain other assets set forth on Exhibit A; provided, however, that if the inclusion of any asset on Exhibit A would result in the Company breaching any written contract currently outstanding, such asset shall be removed from Exhibit A.

1.2           “Change of Control” means the consummation of (i) a merger, consolidation, share exchange, combination, reorganization, or like transaction involving the Company in which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction do not own at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the value or voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company or its successor immediately after such transaction, or (ii) the sale or transfer (other than as security for the Company's obligations) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in any transaction or a series of related transactions, in which the Company, any corporation controlled by the Company, or the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the transaction do not own at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the value or voting power of the issued and outstanding equity securities of the acquirer immediately after the transaction.

1.3           “Company” shall include any corporation which shall succeed to or assume the obligations of the Company under this Note.

1

1.4           “Holder,” when the context refers to a holder of this Note, shall mean any person who shall at the time be the registered holder of this Note.

2.             Events of Default. If any of the events specified in this Section 2 shall occur (herein individually referred to as an “Event of Default”), the Holder of the Note may, so long as such condition exists, declare the entire principal and unpaid accrued interest hereon immediately due and payable in cash, by notice in writing to the Company:

2.1.           Default in the payment of the principal or unpaid accrued interest of this Note when due and payable if such default is not cured by the Company within thirty (30) days after the Holder has given the Company written notice of such default; or

2.2.           Upon a Change of Control; provided; however, that no Event of Default shall deemed to have occurred if the Holder approves such Change of Control; or

2.3.           The institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated as bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or release under the federal Bankruptcy Act, or any other applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee or other similar official of the Company, or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or

2.4.           If, within ninety (90) days after the commencement of an action against the Company (and service of process in connection therewith on the Company) seeking any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such action shall not have been resolved in favor of the Company or all orders or proceedings thereunder affecting the operations or the business of the Company stayed, or if the stay of any such order or proceeding shall thereafter be set aside, or if, within ninety (90) days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of the Company of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Company or of all or any substantial part of the properties of the Company, such appointment shall not have been vacated.

3.             Collateral.                                Until all amounts due under this Note are paid, the Holder of this Note shall be provided the opportunity to retain first priority security position in the Assets.  Maker agrees to execute and deliver to Holder any document reasonably necessary to evidence such  security interest and the priority thereof.  If Holder exercises any remedies under this Note, upon the Company’s written request, Holder shall grant the Company on commercially reasonable terms an exclusive  license (with the right to grant sublicenses) under the Assets to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale and import all uses worldwide in all fields of use. Holder agrees to execute such documents as are reasonably requested by the Company to release such security interest when Holder no longer has a right to receive payments under this Note.

4.             Prepayment.

4.1.           At any time after the date hereof, the Company has the right, at the Company’s option, to prepay the remaining balance of the Note, without penalty, prepayment premium or payment of unearned interest (the “Prepayment”).

2

4.2.           Prepayment Procedure.  Before the Company shall be entitled to prepay the Note in accordance with Section 4.1 above, it shall give written notice to the Holder, notifying the Holder of its desire to exercise its right of Prepayment and specifying the remaining balance of the Note and the date on which such Prepayment will occur (the “Prepayment Closing Date”).  On the Prepayment Closing Date, the Company will pay to the Holder in cash or other immediately available funds an amount equal to the remaining balance of the Note, including any accrued interest, and the Holder shall deliver to the Company the Note.

5.             Restrictions on Transfer of the Note.  This Note may only be transferred in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Note, and the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder of this Note shall be binding upon and benefit any permitted and registered successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.  Subject to the limitations contained in the following sentence, the Holder may transfer its interest to one of the Holder’s affiliates.  In addition to such transfer restrictions, Holder must comply with all relevant federal and state securities laws, and, if the Company requires, provide an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that any requested transfer does not violate federal or state securities laws.

6.             Lost or Destroyed Note. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and, if requested in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity bond or other agreement or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company will issue a new Note, in the amount of the unpaid principal balance of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note and dated the date to which interest has been paid, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

7.             Expenses; Waivers; Amendment. If action is instituted to collect this Note, the Company promises to pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred in respect with such action. The Company hereby waives notice of default, presentation or demand for payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or dishonor and all other notices or demands relative to this Note.  Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of the Company and Holder.

8.             Notices.
